It’s a nice looking bass but it’s obviously been refinished.

You might not see it every day, but you see it often enough on here.
That bass is the yang to the Mothman’s yin. That ol’ dog showing up on TB once in a while just means the world’s still turning and bass players have a little free time on our hands.

To each his own I say. The value of a vintage instrument to me is that it is in original condition. This can vary from a closet classic to a well worn, honest condition. This one is heavily modified, that kind of diminishes the value from my perspective, however there may be someone out there willing to pick it up at that price and that's fine.
The color is just asking for it, the body is probably pretty comfortable but as far as JBs go they're usually pretty good. But you can't really blame the guy for trying something new I guess...
Actually it wore a corset for years didn’t get this shape till about 80
Thank you old fender player, a refinish only knocks off about 200 or 300 dollars on an old instrument, depending on the age so this price is appropriate
Uglier then the regular Jazz
well.. sometimes, you are just a bit high and some things are seems to be a damn good idea. All untill you wake uop the next morning and realise, that it was not so good idea at all. Actually, it was shaging terrible idea. but what done is done..

Another fine mod brought to you by the expert craftsmen at Seuss Guitar Woiks!
We sat and we thought
Of a snazzy blue color
Some waist slimming magic
And now there’s another
Fine Fendery bass
As you own eyes can tell.
And we'll soon do another.
(Providing it sells.)

It is oddly related... or better, related in an odd way. I've always liked the '85-'86 Performer and think it would be a great choice for a Fender RI, but being that that specific Fender bass is my favorite... it's all I'll say.
I'd pay $3k for it and spring another $395 for a MJT relic body. That'd get me most of the way to a vintage 60s J
